DropIT is a file sharing platform that makes file sharing across the internet simple and fast. With DropIT, you don't need an account to share a file of any type, and you can share it with anyone using a simple, memorable code similar to an OTP.
I'll share one of my experiences here. I was in a situation where I needed to share a small file with 20 computers from my phone within 5 minutes. All the computers had an internet connection, but no file-sharing options were available, and I didn't have any cables with me. I had two options: first, log in to my email on all systems and send the file via email (which is not possible in 5 minutes), or second, upload it to Google Drive and download it on each system (but Drive links are too complex to type manually on all systems). That's why I couldn't complete the task.
If DropIT was available, I would upload my file to DropIT, set the usage limit to 20, and then get the code for that file. The code would be simple and memorable, like A-956233. Then I could go to each system, type in this code, and boom 💥, the file would be downloaded.
DropIT offers the following features:
- Simple and Fast File Sharing 🚀: Easily share files quickly without any hassle.
- No Login Required 🔐: Share files without the need to create an account.
- Memorable Sharing Codes 🔢: Share files using a simple, memorable code similar to an OTP.
- Security and Privacy 🔒: Every file is stored as buffers and will be deleted once the usage limit is exceeded.
- User-Friendly Interface 👍: Enjoy a simple and intuitive user interface.
I set some limits for my product (for a reason). These limits are listed below:
| Maximum file upload size | 30 MB 📂 |
| Daily upload limit | 100 MB 📊 |
| Maximum usage limit for a file | 20 📥 |
| File expiration | In 24 Hrs ⏰ |
